homework and exercises - What is the time period of an oscillator with varying spring constant?


It is well known that the time period of a harmonic oscillator when mass m and spring constant k are constant is T=2πm/k.



However, I would be interested to know what the time period is if k is not constant. I have searched hours after hours for right answers from Google and came up with nothing. I am looking for an analytical solution.

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
